Sold!....and the process begins...

Well, in 8 days, the house sold! Wow...not what I was expecting! A young couple is buying it and now we are going through the inspection process. The VA inspection was this past Monday and yesterday I rec'd a list of things to fix. Everything will be done by Friday, so they can either re-inspect or just call the appraiser. The closing is scheduled for Feb 15th...I hope everything flows so we can keep it on schedule. My agent, Sali, has been wonderful in keeping me up on what is going on and helping out in anyway she can.

When I accepted the offer, I started looking for a rental. So....I found a nice little (heavy on 'little') one bedroom apt in Browne's Addition, close to downtown. I just have to remember it's only temporary...poor Stoli wont have a yard to play in, but we can walk to the park when it gets warmer. I get my keys on Jan 31st and will move in that weekend...giving myself about 2 weeks to get everything into the apt or the storage unit.

Im really going to miss my house. I have lots of memories there & have done lots of work to it. I just hope that the new owners make it a home & have many wonderful memories of their own there. Im sure the day I hand over the keys will be a hard one...but...the journey must go on and as I shut one door, another will open.

This little piggy went to market....just kidding..lol

Well, the house is on the market..... Here's the virtual tour link....

Happy New Year!

Well, Christmas came & went....thank goodness! I just got my Christmas (well, after Christmas) cards out today! I am still working on gifts for my family because I didnt have enough time to get them together before Christmas. So....they are on their way...soon!

I started my Christmas 'vacation' with doing a 'de-clutter' on my house. The house goes on the market on the 7th, so had lots of work to get done to get it ready. One of the biggest chores was to de-clutter it. So....with that in mind and the fact that I've been here for 13 years, I have a living & dinning room full of boxes. Tomorrow, I move them into a storage unit. After that, I can run around with a paint can an do touch up, clean to my hearts desire (and late into the night) until the house is ready to go on Monday morning. I am hoping that it will be a quick sale....PLEASE! Dont get me wrong, I love my home, it's just time for a chance and the chance to close some doors that have been left open too long.

Once the house sells, I will be moving to temporary digs...not sure where yet, but will keep you all posted.

Stoli is getting big. He will be 5 months old, next week! Oh my! Time has flown by. He's a very good dog, learning how to be good has been a chore! He has a nice big kennel in the kitchen to keep him out of mischief while I'm at work. He's not bored though....he has toys & periodic visitors during the day to let him out, play with him, etc. What a spoiled puppy....but a happy one and that is what is important!

We've had snow! Have you? Here's a little pic I took last week during a little snow storm...hope you like.

Well, I better get back to work. Need to head out to the garage to pack some boxes for the big move tomorrow.
